Great New Mexican Restaurant, Aretha's Hat & A Hollywood Catfight
Thanks to those of you who came out to join us last night at the all new Mexico Restaurant at Cosner's Corner (across from PetSmart). We love this place. It features real, authentic, genuine Mexican food, all made with the freshest ingredients. The staff in incredible. Not only are they attentive and right on top of things, but they're soooooo friendly. When you walk in, they make you feel like an old friend. Every Thursday night, it's kid's night. Kids eat for only 99 cents! All this, plus a full service, gorgeous bar, complete with large screen TVs. Try this place. You'll love it!
That's probably true, but then again, her fans probably don't know who Bonnie and Clyde were either...or Dick Cheney....or Nancy Pelosi......or Bill Gates.......or.......
Have a great weekend!
Alright, I can't take this thing with Aretha Franklin's hat. I really can't. I can't take it.
You might have noticed that I don't talk about football much. There's a very good reason for that. I'm not a football fan. Now, I know that thousands and thousands of people love football and that's fine. It's just not my sport. It's for that reason that I didn't even talk about the Super Bowl too much. There are a lot of people like me who really have little or no interest in football. I have a problem with the person who really isn't into football who, come Super Bowl time, all of a sudden, is "all about" the sport. He or she is making believe they're into it because they want to "belong". I don't do that. Another good example is American idol. You might have heard me tell Kristen Nash on more than one occasion that I can't watch this show. I've tried. I've really tried. I find it incredibly vapid and mindless and hardly "reality". If you like it, I certainly have no problem with that. Me, I can't watch it. But at least I'm honest enough with you to tell you that. There is absolutely no question in my mind that there are many other people out there who feel the same way, but would never admit it. Most people are basically followers who don't want to be left out of the water cooler conversation, so they pretend they're into it. I could get on the air and be a phony and do the same, but I prefer to be real with you. All of this brings us to Aretha Franklin's hat. You know the hat I'm talking about.
That stupid, ridiculous, absurd, over sized hat. There, I said it. Everybody is thinking it, but for some reason, nobody wants to come out and say it. IT'S A RIDICULOUS-LOOKING HAT. You know it. I know it. Everybody who is reading this knows it. Everybody listening to me this morning knows it. This is nothing against Aretha Franklin. I've been a fan of hers since I was a teenager, but the hat is stupid-looking. However, the media began almost immediately telling us how we should feel about this hat. For three weeks, all we heard about was this glorious hat, this wonderful hat, without a doubt THEE most attractive hat of all time. Never, in the history of the planet Earth, has there ever been a hat as wonderful as this one. Guys, be honest. If you and you wife or girlfriend were getting ready to go out and all of a sudden, she came out wearing that hat...honestly, what would your reaction be? If my wife, Rae, came out wearing that hat, I'd say, "Are you out of your mind?????!!" After about three weeks of this frenzied ranting and raving about the hat, it finally started to die down. Then, the final blow came a few days ago. The Smithsonian Institution announced that they want the hat so it can be displayed in the museum. The madness continues. By the way, if the Smithsonian takes down the Wright Brother's Biplane, they might have just enough space to fit that hat in.
Entertainment news: Faye Dunaway was upset to learn that they're remaking her iconic film, "Bonnie & Clyde", with Hillary Duff playing her role of Bonnie. Dunaway said the least they could have done was hire a "real actress".
Duff responded by saying her fans want HER to do it. She also added that her fans don't even know who Faye Dunaway is.
That's probably true, but then again, her fans probably don't know who Bonnie and Clyde were either...or Dick Cheney....or Nancy Pelosi......or Bill Gates.......or.......Finally, I got a kick out of this. Today, U.S. Airways - remember, thats the airline whose jet crash landed in the Hudson River a few weeks ago - announced they will begin charging passengers $7 for a pillow and a blanket. If they really want to make money, they should charge $100 for an inner tube.
Have a great weekend!
